Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody play on the guitar strings
Makes me think of my favorite songs
Reminds me of when I heard Aretha sing
Gladys, Steven, and Chaka Khan
[Verse 2]
Can't go back to yesterday
But can we just put the thongs away?
And fall back in love with music
Nothing but the music, oh
[Verse 3]
Everybody knows that Marvin's gone
Still I gotta tell you what's going on
Said the music's gone
[Verse 4]
Where did the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sing no more
Where's the music gone?
[Verse 5]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
It ain't songs no more
Where's the music gone?
[Verse 6]
Still hear Donny playing them keys
Singing, one day, we'll all be free
I can't even turn on my radio
Somebody hollering 'bout a b**** or ho
[Verse 7]
Right now, I'm missing music
Black folks count on music, oh
[Verse 8]
Where did the soul go?
It's all about the video
We don't sing no more
Where's the music gone?
[Verse 9]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
We don't sing no more
All the soul is gone
[Verse 10]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
They don't sing no more
Where's the music gone?
[Verse 11]
Can we get back
Can we get back
I wanna talk about
I'm gonna talk about
I'm gonna sing about
I'm gonna sing about
[Verse 12]
Mmm, all the music's gone
All the soul is gone
Let's take it back, take it back
Take it back, take it back
Oh, oh
Music
Music
[Verse 13]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone gone
Said, tell me
[Verse 14]
Where did the soul go?
It's not about living young
They don't sing no more, no no
[Verse 15]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
They don't sing no more, no no
[Verse 16]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
They don't sing no more, no no
[Verse 17]
Where did the soul go?
It's not about living young
They don't sing no more, no no
[Verse 18]
Where did the music go?
It's all just for the dough
They don't sing no more, no no
